The five highest reported Missouri counties in 2026 are Atchison (USD 247/ac), Lafayette (USD 226/ac), Holt (USD 217/ac), Clinton (USD 200/ac), Saline (USD 196/ac).

The five lowest reported counties are Camden (USD 16/ac), Carter (USD 19/ac), Dent (USD 20/ac), Washington (USD 22/ac), Taney (USD 24/ac), which shows why a statewide average is a weak substitute for county data.

Five-year Missouri trend

The 2026 state average is USD 145/ac, down USD 3/ac from 2025. The trend line below uses NASS state rows so it stays stable even when individual county suppression changes year to year.

From county average to parcel read

A county average tells you what surveyed non-irrigated cropland rented for in that county. It does not see whether your acres are high-PI prairie soil, a wet corner, a small irregular field, or ground with better access and drainage than the county average.

Scout reads the parcel's SSURGO soil profile, starts from the county NASS rent when it exists, and applies AgriTerra's PI-based soil band around that benchmark. If the county is unavailable, Scout uses the state figure and labels the downgrade.

Your parcel

Run your own parcel to see the gap. Every Missouri parcel reads differently on soil, drainage, and rotation.

Use the land's address. If it has no street address, open Scout to find or draw the parcel. No account needed; Scout asks for an email once, before it shows the analysis.

Every parcel-scale figure is a Scout free read; see how we get our numbers. The state average anchor is the USDA NASS 2026 survey for non-irrigated cropland.

Check the parcel, not just the county.

Start with the Missouri county benchmark, then let Scout read the parcel's soils, acreage, flood, wetlands, CRP fit, and energy context.
